            <b>Last updated: March 2009</b><br />Microsoft is committed to protecting
            your privacy, while delivering software that brings you the performance, power,
            and convenience you desire in your personal computing. This privacy statement explains
            many of the data collection and use practices of Microsoft CodePlex (“CodePlex”).
            It focuses on features that communicate with the Internet. It does not apply to
            other online or offline Microsoft sites, products, or services. CodePlex is Microsoft's
            open source project hosting web site. CodePlex enables you to start a new project,
            join an existing one, or download software created by the community. Collection
            and Use of Your Information The information we collect from you will be used by
            Microsoft and its controlled subsidiaries and affiliates to enable the features
            you are using and provide the service(s) or carry out the transaction(s) you have
            requested or authorized. It may also be used to analyze and improve Microsoft products
            and services. We may send certain mandatory service communications such as welcome
            letters, billing reminders, information on technical service issues, and security
            announcements. Some Microsoft services may send periodic member letters that are
            considered part of the service. We may occasionally request your feedback, invite
            you to participate in surveys, or send you promotional mailings to inform you of
            other products or services available from Microsoft and its affiliates. Except as
            described in this statement, personal information you provide will not be transferred
            to third parties without your consent. We occasionally hire other companies to provide
            limited services on our behalf, such as packaging, sending and delivering purchases
            and other mailings, answering customer questions about products or services, processing
            event registration, or performing statistical analysis of our services. We will
            only provide those companies the personal information they need to deliver the service,
            and they are prohibited from using that information for any other purpose. Microsoft
            may access or disclose information about you, including the content of your communications,
            in order to: (a) comply with the law or respond to lawful requests or legal process;
            (b) protect the rights or property of Microsoft or our customers, including the
            enforcement of our agreements or policies governing your use of the services; or
            (c) act on a good faith belief that such access or disclosure is necessary to protect
            the personal safety of Microsoft employees, customers, or the public. Information
            that is collected by or sent to Microsoft by CodePlex may be stored and processed
            in the United States or any other country in which Microsoft or its affiliates,
            subsidiaries, or service providers maintain facilities. Microsoft abides by the
            safe harbor framework as set forth by the U.S. Department of Commerce regarding
            the collection, use, and retention of data from the European Union. Collection and
            Use of Information about Your Computer When you use software with Internet-enabled
            features, information about your computer ("standard computer information") is sent
            to the Web sites you visit and online services you use. Microsoft uses standard
            computer information to provide you Internet-enabled services, to help improve our
            products and services, and for statistical analysis. Standard computer information
            typically includes information such as your IP address, operating system version,
            browser version, and regional and language settings. In some cases, standard computer
            information may also include hardware ID, which indicates the device manufacturer,
            device name, and version. If a particular feature or service sends information to
            Microsoft, standard computer information will be sent as well. The privacy details
            for each CodePlex feature, software or service listed in this privacy statement
            describe what additional information is collected and how it is used. Security of
            your information Microsoft is committed to helping protect the security of your
            information. We use a variety of security technologies and procedures to help protect
            your information from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure. For example, we store
            the information you provide on computer systems with limited access, which are located
            in controlled facilities. Changes to this privacy statement We will occasionally
            update this privacy statement to reflect changes in our products, services, and
            customer feedback. When we post changes, we will revise the "last updated" date
            at the top of this statement. If there are material changes to this statement or
            in how Microsoft will use your personal information, we will notify you either by
            posting a notice of such changes prior to implementing the change or by directly
            sending you a notification. We encourage you to periodically review this statement
            to be informed of how Microsoft is protecting your information. For More Information
            Microsoft welcomes your comments regarding this privacy statement. If you have questions
